Hungerstone is a dark, atmospheric feminist horror novel, reimagining the queer vampire tale Carmilla that inspired Dracula. A haunting blend of gothic suspense, forbidden desire, and Victorian-era horror, this novel is perfect for fans of lush, immersive storytelling and chilling supernatural themes.

At the height of the Industrial Revolution, Lenore’s marriage to steel magnate Henry has turned cold and distant. When his ambition brings them to the isolated British moorlands for a grand hunting party, a shocking carriage accident introduces them to the enigmatic Carmilla—a woman who is pale and weak by day but vibrant and intoxicating at night.

As Lenore grows dangerously drawn to Carmilla, young girls from the nearby villages begin falling ill, consumed by an unexplainable hunger. With the day of the hunt approaching, Lenore is forced to confront her desires, her role in society, and the sinister secrets lurking within her own household.
